My neck dissection was done in May 2006. I had a very noticeable drooping lower lip, numbness all the way down my neck and up the side of my head, and a very weak left arm - at first I could not lift it out to the side and then up. My lip is fine now - I can even whistle again - although very softly and with effort! My arm is fine, but I did a lot of exercises every day to strengthen it, and still do. My Physical therapist gave me instructions for all exercises, although I only saw her in person while I was in the hospital.
